Age estimation based on magnetic resonance imaging of the ankle joint in a modern Chinese Han population.
Article in International journal of legal medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectivesTo expand the database on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) analysis of distal tibial and calcaneal epiphyses as proposed by Saint-Martin et al. and investigate a more elaborate staging technique to establish regression models for age estimation in a modern Chinese Han population. MATERIALS AND
methodsT1-weighted ankle MRIs were retrospectively collected from April 2008 to July 2019, and data from 590 individuals (372 males and 218 females; aged from 8 to 25 years old) were obtained. One-sided sagittal images were assessed because data from both sides were considered coincidental, as no significant differences were found (P > 0.05). Three-stage and six-stage staging techniques were applied separately and subsequently compared. A subset was re-assessed a second time and by a different observer. Regression models were established accordingly.
resultsOur results showed very good repeatability and consistency of two staging techniques (all Cohen's kappa values were more than 0.8). By comparison, the values of the coefficient of determination (R
conclusionsThe six-stage technique may outperform the three-stage technique in MRI analysis of ankle bones for age estimation, while age estimation based on the calcaneus may perform better than that based on the distal tibia or both ankle bones in a modern Chinese Han population.
